A shot inspired by Mak.
Personally I love it, I am sure there will be voters that does not like the unrealistic processing of this shot.
This shot was actually shot close to noon.

Still, I love the perspective , the play with light & shadows. Very cool and I think providing a seldom seen perspective of a really beautiful bird.

Shot at 400mm focal length on a lovely sunny afternoon.

Hope the majority likes it, did not want to submit the standard animal or bird in flight shots.

Beautifully detailed. Love the high contrast. Composition feels a little tight at the top.

Nice details on the feathers and of course, brilliant contrast! I get where you were going with the composition and motion but it somehow feels a little, what's the word, 'confined'? Still very nice. :)

OK, I'm going through the Free Study submissions, purposefully finding those images I think are shot with a less conventional eye - this is one of those images! Thanks for offering something that isn't just DPC friendly eye-candy (though of course there's nothing wrong with eye-candy). I'll be picking one of these images for the Mu (most underrated) award:

Positives: As soon as I looked at this I thought AlexSaberi, a swan, a deep black backdrop and fabulous execution. I'm not at all convinced that I'm right but that photographer popped into my head straight away. This really is an excellent image though - so much more than the sum of its parts. I LOVE the way this buck convention and shows us the wrong end of an animal.

Critical stuff: Nothing at all.

Overall: Superb work.

Interesting angle. Nice detail in the feathers. Looks oversharpened, though.
